[Samba] Print spool icon in systray reports jobs pending when none are pending
I have an issue I'd like to resolve with a client and the print spool icon in the systray... If the user (on w2k) mouses over the print spool icon, it tells them "xxx jobs in queue" or some such, and the xxx increments once for each new print job they send. Also, the print spool icon never disappears from the systray until a reboot, or re-login. Once a job is sent to one of the samba-served printers, the spool icon reappears with symptoms noted above. Any ideas? Using Samba 3.0.9 and cups. This is happening for all users. I checked the changelog from 3.0.9 to 3.0.11 and didn't find anything relating to this specific issue, but plan upgrading soon hust the same. Thanks Bill Arlofski waa-samba@revpol.com

There are a number of printing related fixes in 3.0.11 and the problem of print jobs not being deleted cropped up prior to release of 3.0.11 and unless I am mistaken is fixed in this release. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide, ISBN: 0131453556 Samba-3 by Example, ISBN: 0131472216 Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 Other books in production.
